Can't delete or overwrite saves (steam)

I'm playing on PC on Steam, and I'm having an issue where I cannot delete or overwrite my save files. Every time I try overwriting a save, the game makes a duplicate save with the same name as the one I'm trying to overwrite instead. If I try to delete a save, I go through the process and confirm I want to delete it, but the save does not disappear. 

I'm someone who likes to constantly save my game and I tend to have 1 main file I use that I overwrite frequently, and then make additional saves for specific moments I want to have separate. Because of the duplicating and being unable to delete saves, I now have 15 save files when I really should have 3 or 4. 

I've tried verifying my game files but I cannot think of anything else to try and fix it. I haven't seen anyone else have this issue. I included a clip of what happens when I try to delete files.

    I have the exact same issue. Very frustrating, did you find a fix? I guess I'll try manually deleting the saves out of the folder itself, because I also save very frequently.

      Unfortunately no, I haven't found a fix yet. I've just been going in and deleting the saves I don't want manually. Although it works, it's frustrating. I also realized that because the game isn't overwriting saves properly, that includes autosaves and decision saves too. I haven't seen many others with this issue and so far I haven't found a real fix yet, but fingers crossed!

      Yeah, I'm getting close to the limit myself. Really hope a fix for this comes soon.

    I am having the same issue. I have tried deleting the saves from the game files directly and then when I load the game they somehow appear again. I really don't know what to do and am almost out of saves. I am on steam as well

      I was having that problem, but turning off cloud saves for Veilguard fixed it! Try turning that feature off, then deleting them from the files. That should let them be deleted

        That actually did work! I really hope they find a fix for this soon!

  • Having the same issue, and my game is no longer auto saving either! Keep losing progress and my save slots are rapidly filling up, it's a pretty serious issue...

      Yeah, it's super frustrating. It's too bad the patch yesterday didn't fix the issue. It's really making it hard for me to keep playing.
